Paid Members BigJag Posted September 28, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) G1 he was a gun. G2 he became the tank, due to “gun toys are bad”. The jet was a Bay thing right? He’s also been a truck. The NERF Gun Megatron is something I’d like to track down. Edited September 28, 2021 by BigJag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Eaglemoss (the guys behind the collectable magazine gimmicks) had been running a Kickstarter campaign to release a G1 themed chess set with detailed figures, they set the target at $300,000 with incentives for donating including a hard back book, a split face enamel pin of Optimus and Megatron and other goodies. Unfortunately it failed this past Friday, reaching less than a third of the target at $92,054 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked nice and all but expecting people to pay the same as Unicron for a huge chess set was madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Just scored a Mft Huge Dragon, like this one Only Wreckgar, Black Zarak and some Insecticons to go. Perhaps the new classics Menasor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted October 16, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 16, 2021 TFC have made a Megatron. Nice showcase of the various modes it has in this video. Classic Prime (ST Commander) vs Megatron (Tyrant) battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted November 16, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2021 Thanks to The Basics this week I learnt what Kiss Players was. What the fuck were they thinking?!! I highly recommend not looking it up. The crib notes version is that it's a manga/radio play set from the moment Galvatron is thrown out of Unicron's eye in TFM until season 3 and involves creepy hentai involving very young looking characters. Anyhow how's it going with Earth Wars? I finally upgraded my hq to level 17 so I can start the Titans campaign. Going to be a while before I get through it mind you. My best team just isn’t leveled up enough yet. I've only got four 5*'s and it takes bloody ages to get them up to level 60. Don't know if I mentioned this before but I got my first Masterpiece toy a little while back. Bumblebee v2. Are MP's all a nightmare to transform? It literally took me an hour to get him from VW to bot mode. Really like the little guy but I won't be transforming him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a Smokescreen MP Ko, took 57 days to transform, gawd knows what the Bayverse MP ones are like. My dad picked up a Bayverse Optimus for my nephew from somewhere and it took forever to transform and that wasnt even a MP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted November 17, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2021 There is a complexity to MP transformations that can make them daunting. My mate has never fully transformed his MP5G. He is terrified of breaking it. There's a particular step of the transformation that requires a large amount of force. I've never transformed my MP Tracks. Mainly due to the car model being brilliant. I couldn't get Red Alert to tab back correctly. He now looks a little bit like the Duke Boys took him for a joy ride. Slight kink in front of the A pillar. What are most peoples preferences for display. Robot or Robot in disguise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted November 17, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2021 Bot mode for me. I think that's what appealed so much to me about the Seige/Earthrise lines. It really grabbed me attention that they were selling updated versions of the G1 characters with the bot mode being front and centre in the packaging. I'd been out Transformers toy collecting pretty much since just after Beast Wars before then. Not to mention they take up a damn sight less space.

I find this about Transformers in general these days. The last non-Legends class I’d transformed was first-Bay-movie Brawl which had been a birthday present in 2007, which even then had seemed a bit much. Then after a few years of leaving everything in the boxes I finally had a go with Combiner Wars Starscream and it was awful, I was terrified I’d break his groin trying to force the nose cone/cockpit into place. Needless to say, Earthrise Starscream is still in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Dromo. http://www.the-liberator.net/site-files/robot-toys/robot-racer-esso.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
